We cannot summarize what the Bible says and all that God's Spirit has further revealed through studies, historical research and the lives of people living according to God's Word; nonetheless we present some of the key teachings of the Independent Church of God Winnipeg which recognizes that its basis of faith shall be the doctrine of Christ which was once delivered to the saints. The Bible is our
only authority and we teach that it should be read and studies prayerfully and with care at every opportunity. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; Romans 16:26; John 17:17; Acts 17:11). Although we believe that there may be other religious works (past and present) of certain literary merit, they should never be used as the sole basis for establishing truth on doctrinal matters unless they agree and are consistent with the revealed teachings of the Bible. The Bible is the plumb line from which all truth is measured. There is only one eternal immortal God, the Father. (isaiah 45:5; 1 Timothy 1:17; Ephesians 4:6)
Jesus Christ is the Son of God the Father, who existed with God the Father before He (Jesus) created all things. (Proverbs 30:4; John 1:1-3). He was conceived, born, lived and died s a perfect human being on the earth in complete obedience to the will of His Father. (Matthew 1:21; Philemon 2:7,8). Jesus and the Father are in perfect agreement in attitude, purpose and intention, and form a family of which a human family is a representation.
